What Is Commitment in a Relationship?

There are 8 billion people on the planet and most of them are looking for love. Such a drug is this love that everyone wants it, and some are scared of it. Love gives you superpower to succeed in all other areas of life and gives you angel wings that save you from grief. I am not talking about destructive relationships where love is just an imitation.

But sooner or later, people in love are not satisfied either. It’s never enough. After a while, we want proof that the chosen one is yours forever and demand this proof in a legal way, proven by a marriage license.

Why do people need to be with somebody? We are born and on our own. The soul is fine to be alone but not your body and mind. They demand reunion with the other and proof of love on paper.

I personally think people need an observer of their life. Like with Instagram. They say as a joke: if you have not made a post, it means you have never been there. The same here. We need somebody to watch our life and all that happens in it. So, coupled individuals mostly want commitment…

Let’s figure out this term!

Commitment in a relationship refers to the dedication and obligation each partner has to maintain and nurture their relationship. It involves a mutual agreement to stay together and support each other through various challenges and stages of life. Here are key aspects of commitment in a relationship:

1. Partners agree to be emotionally and physically loyal to each other.

2. Building up trust as a basis of communication. Now you have a friend to share your secrets with. People start from good intentions and later use their knowledge of each other’s character and bio to pin you and create pain. What creates this difference over the years? Initially, you chose this person to deliver love, and now you desire to bring pain.

3. Shared goals and values – this is key for a long-lasting relationship, as sexual attraction and spending joyful time together are not enough. You should realize if your true desires match. For example, if your partner dreams of being a surfer in Australia and you are a Paris fashion week model, you likely have different schedules.

4. Investing time and energy in the relationship. It works only in two ways.

5. Personal growth. Willingness to grow individually and as a couple, and adapt to changes together. Learn about yourself, as your partner is your mirror. A relationship is the best mentor in life.

6. Be yourself! This is the most important challenge to meet your destiny: follow personal growth but stay true to yourself. I know couples where men changed their residence for love or profession to make more money, and women changed religion. By the end of the story, when you hear, “I did it for you!” it feels weird. Don’t pretend to be somebody you are not! Otherwise, you will start hating your partner for this later. The basis of a healthy love relationship is love, not hate.
